    • About Me

      I lost my Son on 7/28/07 in an auto accident. He was 17 and to be a senior this year. I have lupus, a daughter with cri-du-chat syndrome and my husband had an affair in 2006. Said I didn't pay attention to him and he felt like he was just a paycheck. The last couple of years have not been good for me. My Son was my best friend. And going on is so difficult.

      Type: Loss of a Child

      On 7/28/07, my 17 yr old son was killed in a car accident. He went to buy shoes for track. He called me at 5:30 and said he was at the bowling alley & lost. I didn't know the way & said to ask someone there. After that call, I felt upset. Something was wrong. At around 7pm, we called the hospitals. At around 8pm I called 911. They said they were sending an offier over. At 8:20pm, the coroner was at my door with my son's things in a plastic bag. It happened at 6pm. Out of space-rest in journal

    • Close Lupus

      I have had Lupus since childhood, but not diagnosed until age 33. My knees were always messed up. When my Daughter was born, she is mentally retarded. The stress of the situation hit me hard. My hands were swollen, red and I was unable to open them. Had a blood test and my ANA test was thru the roof. That was the first time I had a name for my aches and pains. As time goes on, it is slowly becoming worse. My Son was killed 7/07 and I am having a lot of pain and fatigue. My hands are now weak.

It was finally over 11/16/06.. A part of me has died. I waited things out for me kids. They are happy. We are now working things out. My Son died 7/28/07. I am tired of the pain.
